Yoga Retreat with Judy Molinaro

About us

On April 20 2019, join Judy for 8 days of daily practice, luxury villas, delectable meals and immersive experiences in paradise.

Experience eight days of daily practice, luxury villas, delectable meals, and immersive experiences in paradise. You’ll be staying at a collection of fully-staffed, open-concept modernist villas engulfed by lush vegetation. You’ll enjoy sunrise and sunset yoga sessions from our studio overlooking the Sierra Madre jungle and the pacific ocean. You’ll be served three, chef-prepared, delicious and nutritious meals daily. And you’ll be guided through an amazing snorkeling tour at Los Arcos, a hike through lush botanical gardens and a day of seva where we get to give back to the local community.

Each retreat is limited to twelve spots in order to foster deep connections among participants and provide a more personal atmosphere. Our aim is to create a feeling of family and comfort during your stay. Our guests enjoy daily maid service, freshly-prepared meals by our chef, a tour guide, concierge service and 24/7 security so you can rest, relax and focus on self-care. We handpick experienced, established, and well-regarded yoga teachers who specialize in a variety of disciplines to offer our attendees a complete spectrum of yoga and meditation types and styles.

I am an E-RYT 200 Kripalu certified yoga instructor, ISSA fitness coach, author, and avid wellness blogger. With over three decades of training, personal practice and more than 7,000 hours of hands on instruction, I am versed in many schools of yoga and related health modalities. I have first-hand awareness how yoga integrates mindfulness, physical strength, and personal growth. If you are willing to open your heart to a new way of caring for yourself you will find that yoga touches the very core of your mind, body, and spirit. And while it would appear that the yoga you practice on the mat is transformational, it is what takes place off the mat that has life-changing potential. I am experienced in teaching multi-level classes that anyone can benefit from whether a seasoned practitioner or a first-time student. In Kripalu yoga, students are encouraged to practice at their own level; the emphasis being placed on body awareness, alignment and coordination of breath and movement. Whether you’re searching for techniques to manage stress, improve physical well-being, or for spiritual growth, yoga encourages involvement in your own healing. Your yoga practice will not be a quick-fix, rather, it will be powerful, yet slow medicine. Let it be your foundation for extraordinary living. Find your respite from the noise and confusion of daily life tucked here in the tranquility of the jungle overlooking the pacific. Release, relax, and restore.

Thank you!

Why Retreat?

It would my first vacation in the mountains. I think getting away and beginning a new routine would be good for me and a friend.
